Bona Film Group Ltd (ADR) (BONA), WD-40 Company (WDFC), Xyratex Ltd. (XRTX), Team, Inc. (TISI) & More: 5 Reasons to Worry About Next Week

Some analysts have yet to update their projections, explaining why Team, Inc. (NYSE:TISI)’s average estimate is at $0.03 a share instead of closer to the likely goose egg on the bottom line.

International Speedway is the motorsports promoter behind some of the more iconic race tracks, including Daytona and Talladega.

The promoter made news for the wrong reason last month. A horrific multi-car crash during the final lap of the Nationwide Series race the day before the legendary Daytona 500 injured several spectators, after debris from the race car of Kyle Larson flew into the stands.

The company may address fan safety concerns, or any negative attendance trends since the tragic event took place, but the reason International Speedway makes the cut in this column is that analysts see it posting slightly lower earnings than it did a year earlier on flat revenue.

Wall Street sees WD-40 Company (NASDAQ:WDFC)’s profitability slipping 14% on a per-share basis and, unfortunately, the company has fallen short of bottom-line forecasts in two of the past three quarters.

Finally we have Xyratex Ltd. (NASDAQ:XRTX). The provider of enterprise data storage solutions had posted just a single quarterly deficit in the three previous years before posting a loss in its most recent quarter. The market’s braced for another quarter of red ink.

Xyratex Ltd. (NASDAQ:XRTX) rewarded investors late last year with a meaty $2 per share one-time dividend, but shareholders suffering through the losses now may be wondering if their patience will be rewarded this time around. The stock is actually trading higher so far through 2013, but eventually, the fundamentals will have to follow suit.

Why the long face, short-seller?
These companies have seen better days. The market has rewarded many of these stocks with reasonable gains over the past year, but they still haven’t earned those upticks. Lower earnings translates into higher earnings multiples, and nobody wants to see that happen.

The good news here is that Wall Street already expects these companies to deliver shrinking bottom lines. In other words, the bad news is already baked into the shares.

The more I think about it, the less worried I become.
